' nreurn-inrsrnnsrne hrrnnlirus Todll whom; it'may concern} 1 Be it known that I, SAM HE GE, apcitizn of the United States,.residing at. Detroit, in v the county of Wayne and stateof Michi "an,

have invented 'certain' new and useful r ratus, ofwhich'the following is a specification. 1

. erably carbonated; Theidea is to provide V v plated bowl m .beeome'g'exhausted, or" deparatus and especially '{apparatus for di spensingf substances that are liquid and; prefa dispensing apparatus thatis both sanitary and attractivefor'display purposes and at the same time has; suitable refrigerating means ts keep the V substance to be dispensed in a properly cooled condition; Further more;iprov1sion is made for r'e-cha-rging'the container periodically as the substance becomes exhausted. These andother features will appear in the description following.

i ,dered at g to the top plates vh, which are 'ner shell "acts as an ice container. The ice pensing apparatus.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of the dis- 1 Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3-;is a section taken on the line ,33 of Fig. 1. c i The outer shell is made up of four side walls'a of German silver joined at their corners preferably by soldering. These side walls have turned-over bottom flan es b to four in number and secured together at the corners, asshown in'Fig; 2. These plates: have each a flange orrbead'ithat fits over the top of the outer shell a and is provided with a turned-in hook-j that engages. over the outside, of the outer shell a. This inmay-be slipped intovthe inner shell at the "spaces hat the corners where: the bowl fails to fill out the rectangular opening in the center of the inner container. 7

The silver-plated bow-1 m is provided with a goose-neck '11, having a flange '0 which may I be riveted. and soldered to the bottom of the V me provements in. Liquid- Dispensing Appa:

n bowl "This goose neckhasathrea'ded opfen 111g]? at its lower en'd adaptedto screw over the threads ofthe nippl Q' wl1ich"has 'a flange 17 that is riveted and soldered tothe inner container" 6. This nipple g extends to i the outside *ofjth'e k container and shell where it may be joined by the pi un'ion s with the pipe line 't'that has a? "valve a. This pipe line may con ect with any; storage for storinga carbonated 7 "Whenever the contents 'the silver} 'pl eted the" valve u ma be opened, which gravity, lnagreat many instances this.ap-. V

pa atus will be used "with crushed fruit or 1 other forms of fruit, and consequently this fruit might drop down into the feed pipe I and cause'trouble." Y

.In the chamber 0 between the inner con- I tainer: and the outer shell ais the dead air and insulating chamber, .which tends tov prevent the access of heat to the ice. Supported over the bowl-"m is a glass housing or hood to which is secured to the container c by bolts ,00 that passrthrough the glass-retaining clips y. This hood is provided with only three sides, front and two sides, which are of glass.- VA rectangular rim '2 rests over tlie' top ofi the three slabs of glass and is providedwith ajbcad 'l on its inside which a formsasupport for the glass 2 and forming a tray adapted to carry iruits orother suit- The bowl, as already stated, may be charged with carbonated orange-ade or other fruit puice mixture from a tank (not orange-ade or other fluid juice mixturewhen Ithis'is allowed toissue into the bowl in the goose neck 07.. The charging of the bowl wlththe crushed fruits may be done with a ladle. Access may be had to the bowl through the open rear portion of theglass" shown) by simply-opening the valve,-u. Within the bowl may be placed crushed, 7 sliced or otherwise prepared fruits which" become} intermingled with the charged I hood w either for charging the same with l 'tlie crushed frults or for using the ladle to contents for serving a l l providesa neat, sanitary "and eflicient apparatus for storing and mixing prepared fruits and'charged liquids ,,and.the.-same may be "placed upon any suitable counter or other support and presentan attractive appear-' ance. Furthermore,'tl1e top of-=the hood f maybe used as a support for fruits to act asia; display'in advertisement of the liquid v fbeing'dispensed from the bowl.

Obviously other well known refrigerating means could be substituted for ice in the ice container, hen'ce theuse of ice container inthe'claimsis'in the broader Sigjnificance ofacont'a iner provided with refrigerating means. "Similarly the reference to a hood {having fan 'open side in the cla ms f meansopen"whenaccess to the bowl is desiredffor at other times it mightfbe closed jbyfany removable, means and; yet'such a structure Jcorne with n the spirit. of ,my
